In sfnet.keskustelu.politiikka there is a guy who it trying to bet that the next terrorist bombing will be done by people of a particular ethnicity, or a particular religion (he seems to confuse the two sometimes). Everyone is yelling at him, but as far as I can see nobody has taken up the bet against him.
The people who are yelling at him have a point too: constant reading that most terrorists belong to a particular religion probably upsets the vast majority of the people of that religion who are not in fact terrorists. Besides, we all know it already. Somehow, it's not a topic for polite society and I feel vaguely guilty speaking/writing about it.
On a related note, Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades have lied about arranging the suicide bombing in Jerusalem the other day: now Hamas says they did it and Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades say "oops, sorry".
Will there come a day when terrorist attacks will be copyrighted and Hamas will be able to sue Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades for claiming Hamas's attack for themselves? And will either party employ Jewish lawyers?
